Area Congressman Has Literally Nothing Better to Do Than Debate Ship Names

esquire.com – Sometimes, it’s remarkable the extent to which elected officials will go just to be complete dickheads if they believe that there are enough dickheads out there in the electorate to make being a dickhead a good career move.

This was widely applauded as a fitting honor for one of the few true American heroes to be found in the House of Representatives. But we all had reckoned without Congressman Stephen Palazzo, a congresscritter from Mississippi, who has sized up the dickheadedness of his constituency with a jeweler’s eye.
